3 Days Uganda Gorilla and Golden Monkey Via Kigali

Upon arrival at Kigali International Airport and completion of immigration and baggage formalities, you will be warmly welcomed by our professional safari driver guide representing Rwanda Eco Company and Safaris. After a brief introduction and short orientation about your upcoming journey, you will be comfortably transferred to your pre booked accommodation in Kigali. The remainder of the evening will be at leisure, allowing you to relax and recover from your journey. Dinner will be served at the hotel, followed by a pleasant overnight stay in Kigali as you prepare for the adventures ahead.

You will be picked up from your hotel at 4.30 am by your professional driver guide and transferred to Volcanoes National Park for your golden monkey trekking experience. Upon arrival, park rangers will conduct a briefing on the rules and guidelines before you enter the forest in search of these charming primates. The trek can last between one and six hours, depending on the monkeys’ location, and is generally less demanding than gorilla trekking. You will spend one hour observing and photographing them before returning for lunch in Musanze and later transferring to Bwindi via the Cyanika border. Dinner and overnight at the lodge in Uganda.

Start your day with an early morning cup of coffee before heading to the park headquarters for a briefing from the Uganda Wildlife Authority rangers. You will then enter the forest of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park in search of the shy mountain gorillas. The trek can last several hours depending on their location and requires a reasonable level of fitness. Once the gorillas are located, you will spend one unforgettable hour observing them in their natural habitat. After the trek, return from the forest and transfer back to Rwanda for your airport drop off for your evening departure flight.
